I had one that wanted me to press the Windows key and something else. .I use an old IBM PS2 keyboard.It doesn’t HAVE a “Windows” key..I use a PC, but I asked him why my MAC should have one. .They are so much fun to play with. 8^)
We use to get calls from “Windows Technical Support” once or twice a week, which went on for months after they got a hold of our number and discovered two people here that work out of a home office. Nothing we could say or do, no amount of begging or even screaming, would discourage them from calling or taking us off their [call] list. They were absolutely relentless. We’ve been on the state and federal “Do Not Call” lists for years but that doesn’t mean anything to those hucksters from India. Thankfully those ridiculous scam calls stopped once we took out our land line a couple of months ago and went strictly to cellphone use only. Oh, the blissful quiet we’ve been experiencing from those people ever since then has been absolutely wonderful!!! Unfortunately, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until they find those phone numbers and start calling us again on them, too.

Yup. When I’m very bored, I will answer a call from a telemarketer.
